Were they police or not? Jacket said police but I notice one had jeans on.
So cabin crew directions have absolute authority? Sir: get down on all fours and bark like a dog! Sir: take your clothes off! The idea that cabin crew have absolute power is absurd. Requests must be reasonable. They must be conveyed in a manner that is proportionate to the circumstances. Don't forget that this stuff gets tested in courts, often presided over by judges who have flown United.
